This trio of cards was inspired by THIS card HERE. Where the original card features stamping and lots of watercoloring, these cards feature the patterned paper from the kit and die cutting. These come together so fast and easy! My favorite thing about these cards is that no matter the theme or occasion, this design works. I used sentiments from the Beautiful Flowers Stamp Set for a thank you, birthday, and love themed card.

For my first card share using the June 2018 kit, I'm watercoloring the gorgeous large floral image from the Beautiful Flowers Stamp Set and adding a simple gold inlay thin frame, dimensional gold sentiment, and gold embossed stamped greeting for this elegant friendship card.

A thin frame was die cut from the Tonic Gold Pearl Cardstock from the kit using the Simon Says Stamp Frames Die and also cut from the floral watercolored background. The watercolored frame was discarded and the outer frame, gold frame and center panel were adhered to a white side fold card base as shown.

Today's card features a rainbow background created from strips of patterned papers from the kit with a bright white die cut Village border paired with a little stamping. This would be a great card to send to your fellow crafty friend who lives far away!

For the border, I die cut the Village dies from the smooth white cardstock in the kit and used a craft knife to trim the "scene" into a border for the bottom of my card.

The back of the card was stamped with the "handmade by" stamp from the Crafty Friend Stamp Set to finish the design.

Welcome to the final day of Simon Says Stamp's STAMPtember event! I hope you all have enjoyed the month-long celebration as much as I have! Today Simon Says Stamp unveiled a limited edition Card Kit called Hooray! Jam packed with patterned papers, cardstock, stamps, stickers, and more, this kit is a fantastic value! I whipped up a couple of quick card with the kit. One with the stamps, adding coloring, some patterned paper and cardstock to the design and one super simple using only pre-made embellishments from the kit (with one small stamped sentiment)!

My first card share features the Dream Come True Stamp Set from the Hooray Card Kit, as well as patterned paper from the Pebbles Happy Hooray 6x6 paper pad and Royal Purple Cardstock. Using some partial masking, I created a simple scene with the castle and cloud images from the Dream Come True Stamp Set and stamped a couple of sentiments next to the scene using Versafine Black Ink. The images were colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. Hearts were stamped with Simon Says Stamp Clementine, Hot Mama, and Scuba Inks. The stamped border was adhered to the center of one of the included side fold cards from the kit and borders of cardstock and patterned paper were tucked underneath the top and bottom. I purposely chose marker colors to compliment the stripes in the patterned paper! Glossy Accents adds a simple dimensional touch to parts of the stamped design.

My second card share features almost all pre-made items from the kit. I love being able to create a fantastic card in just minutes. Imagine all the great cards you can create with the stickers and glitter shaker stickers from the kit!

I can't believe how fast this month has flown by! Today I have a scene card created by using liquid masking fluid over the images and inking, spritzing with water, and paint splattering the background, before removing them dry masking fluid and coloring the images in with markers! I wasn't sure it I would like this way of masking or not but I'm here to tell you that I am sold! I will definitely be using this masking technique again and again! This card features the new limited edition Poppy Stamps Magical Wishes Stamp Set. Available while supplies last!

The masking fluid was gently rubbed off the surface and the images colored with Copic Markers. Detail using the Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush Marker and a white opaque pen was added to the images. Glossy Accents was applied to the "glass" part of the lantern and allowed to dry.

The panel was adhered to a white top fold card base and finished with a scattering of Pretty Pink Posh Iridescent Mini St

The Greeting Farm has joined forces with Simon Says Stamp for STAMPtember with this adorable Pumpkin Spice It Up Stamp Set! I created a masked, stenciled and inked scene card with this fantastic new set.

Over the masked images I inked through the Tim Holtz Bricked Stencil to create a brick wall using Pumice Stone Distress Ink. Along the bottom edge of the scene I inked up the "sidewalk" with Hickory Smoke Distress Ink and used Copic Markers over the ink to create the detail of the sidewalk. Little tufts of grass were draw in a few places where the sidewalk meets the wall for interest.

Glossy Accents was applied to the glasses and heart and a white pen was used to add detail to the stamped and colored images.

Hey crafting friends! Are you enjoying STAMPtember? I sure am! Studio Katia has joined forces with Simon Says Stamp to bring you this limited edition Blooming Trio Stamp Set. I cannot get enough of florals and this set is incredible! This design would be fantastic to replicate to create a whole set of cards to have on hand or give as a gift.

The floral image from the Blooming Trio Stamp Set was stamped on Bristol Smooth cardstock twice, leaving a bit of space in between, using Versamark Ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. The images were colored in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and a water brush pen for the beautiful watercolor effect.

The panel was trimmed down each long side and adhered to an A2 sized (4 1/4" x 5 1/2") piece of Cilantro Cardstock.

A greeting from the Blooming Trio Stamp Set was stamped on a vellum strip using Versamark Ink and heat embossed with gold embossing powder. The strip was wrapped around the card panel and secured to the back to keep the adhesive hidden.
